Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge is one of the best luxury lodges in the Nkuringo Region and an ideal base for travelers trekking mountain gorillas both in the southern sector of the Nkuringo or Rushaga Region.
The lodge is well-placed on top of a hill overlooking the Bwindi Forest National Park. Nkuringo Lodge is a serene place to stay for travelers seeking to immerse into nature; the tickly bird calls in mornings, the greenery that surrounds the lodge, and the vista greenery of the historical Bwindi Impenetrable Forest are some of the reasons we keep this lodge on our list of top recommended places to stay. Nkuringo Lodge also doubles up as our best recommendation of a place to escape to for newlyweds.
At an altitude of 2161 meters (7090 feet) Above Sea Level, Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge offers its visitors some of Africa’s most spectacular birds-view of the far-flung Virunga Mountain ranges whilst prevailing weather conditions permit.
Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge has 12 rooms in 9 residences with full amenities divided into 3 x two-bedroom family villas and six garden cottages. Each cottage features a bedroom, ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower living area with a fireplace and comfortable chairs to enjoy the golden fire glow. Lounge chairs on the outdoor verandas give the perfect vantage point to celebrate the constantly changing Bwindi views.
The lodge is located a 5-minutes drive from the Nkuringo gorilla trekking briefing point. Also, a 1-hours drive from the lodge is the Rushaga region, commonly preferred for the gorilla habituation experience that allows trekkers at least four (04) hours with a wild gorilla family still undergoing habituation.
In our opinion, Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge is the ideal place to stat at on your safari to meet the mountain Gorillas of Uganda
